Indeed. Once saw on a street stall in NYC the whole big facsimile book of Kells for a mere $15. I said I'd be right back, as needed to go to ATM> Hadn't played it cool enough--came back and he had taken it elsewhere to flog for more. Sigh.
Book by Robert Grudin.
(Brilliant novel--satire, puzzle, and eulogy of the book).
